OUR WORK

Shane is a Libra. Marianne is a Gemini. Together, they are the perfect pairing not only in life but also in work. Their work is balanced and two-fold just like their natures – design and communications on one side, martial arts and yoga on the other. They are also bilingual (english and spanish).

DESIGN & COMMUNICATION

Being visual by nature, the libra is a born artist and designer. He not only sees the beauty in everything but also strives to create beautiful things. The gemini, on the other hand, is a communicator. She is quick-minded and expressive as a writer and loves to bring ideas to life. Both are open, adaptable and complement each others’ strengths.

With a collective background in branding, graphic design, photography, illustration, marketing, public relations, copywriting, editing, blogging, translation, and transcription, Shine & Humm proudly offers these services to help bring projects to life. Shane and Marianne are passionate about supporting businesses that reflect their own values and interests in health and wellness, food and travel, art and culture, as well as projects that focus on social good, the environment and indigenous wisdom.

MARTIAL ARTS & YOGA

Both libra and gemini view physical movement as crucial to daily life. But they put equal emphasis on the internal world of reflection and slowing down. Both martial arts and yoga are the perfect fusion of yin and yang, of movement and stillness. It’s no surprise their attraction to these two practices.

Shane has been teaching martial arts for over 20 years. He currently teaches Systema and Brazilian jiujitsu. He has taught classes and workshops in Australia, India, Japan and Peru. Marianne has been teaching yoga for a decade, with a focus on mindful movement and conscious breath. She has taught classes and workshops in Australia, Canada, India, Indonesia and Peru.
